Recently, there has been an alarming hike in crime affecting our neighborhoods. The West Valley has not been immune from an escalation in crime citywide and we have seen an increase from burglaries to gang violence. That is why I have asked LAPD Valley Bureau Deputy Chiefs Bob Green and John A. Sherman to join me for a Public Safety Town Hall focusing on the West Valley. Come and hear the top brass on the frontline discuss crime prevention, deployment, and many other issues facing our community. We will also be joined by Captains and Senior Lead Officers from LAPD’s West Valley and Topanga Divisions.

Many residents have responded to the rise in crime by joining neighborhood watches, ‘hardening the targets’ and banding together in other ways. This meeting will help highlight these opportunities and shed light on how Angelenos and the LAPD can work together to help make our neighborhoods safer.

If you have a specific topic or question that you would like to have addressed, please send it in an email to joseph.campbell [at] lacity.org and make sure to RSVP here.

The Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council is an organization that is officially certified by the City of Los Angeles to increase our influence with City lawmakers and departments to improve our community.

The PRNC came about as a result of Los Angeles City Charter Reform and interested stakeholders in our community. The Board is elected by stakeholders and holds monthly meetings, usually on the first Wednesday of the month. The agenda is emailed to those who subscribe (see the green box in the upper corner), on our website here and posted at 11280 Corbin Avenue, Northridge, CA 91326 on a bulletin board facing Corbin street.

The Board is comprised of volunteers who want to help you make Porter Ranch a better place to live, work and grow. We can't do it for you, but we can do it with you.
